The Stanford Arts Institute is launching an exciting new symposium series aimed at exploring the intersection of art, scholarship, science, and engineering. The first event, “Architecture,” will feature a distinguished panel including John Ochsendorf, Ronald Rael, and Amanda Williams. The session will examine their transformative work, which challenges traditional boundaries and fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration between the arts and sciences.

Taking place on Friday, April 11, from 2:00 PM to 5:45 PM, this symposium will explore innovative approaches to architecture and design, with a focus on how these disciplines converge and influence one another. The speakers will offer insights into how their practices reshape our understanding of space, culture, and sustainability.
This event marks the beginning of a two-part series, with the second symposium titled “Reframing” scheduled for Friday, April 25, from 2:00 PM to 5:45 PM. The “Reframing” session will feature Gala Porras-Kim, Natalie Gosnell, and Gerardo Aldana, who will discuss topics related to artistic practice, history, and research.
Hosted by the Stanford Arts Institute (SAI) and supported by the Office of the Vice President for the Arts, the symposium series is an essential event for anyone interested in the innovative blending of art, science, and technology. Tickets are available, and further details can be found on the Stanford Arts Institute website.
